History
Hunting has been regulated for many centuries, most often for the benefit of the upper class. The word "paradise", for example, comes from a Greek word for enclosed Persian gardens, where only royalty were allowed and only royals could hunt. In more modern times, hunting regulations have been encouraged by the conservation and animal welfare movements out of concern for wildlife management and alleged cruelty.
